Richlandtown Man Pleads Guilty To Disorderly Conduct Courts

Nile K. Blake of 359 W. Lincoln St. was released pending a pre-sentence investigation after he entered the negotiated plea, in which a charge of corrupting the morals of a minor was withdrawn.

Easton police arrested Blake July 26, after the youth and his parents reported the June 20 incident to the county Human Services Division. The youth said the offense took place while Blake was baby sitting for him.

- Robert J. Burton, 26, of Union Street, Richlandtown, was placed on a year of probation, fined $250 and ordered to pay $700 restitution to Palmer Township police for a July 30 incident that began when he exposed himself to a group of women at Penn Pump Park, police said.

Police said that when they brought Burton to police headquarters, he became violent and swung a chair, knocking two holes in the wall. He pleaded guilty before Judge Robert A. Freedberg to disorderly conduct in a negotiated plea in which a charge of indecent exposure was withdrawn.

- Lee Everett Hodgins, 21, whose last non-prison address was in the 2000 block of Cedar Street in Allentown, was fined $500 and placed on two years of probation by President Judge Alfred T. Williams Jr. for a sexual encounter with a 13-year-old girl.

According to Bethlehem police, the girl, who lived on Liberty Court, told them Hodgins had come to her house while her parents were away on May 4, and ran upstairs to hide in her bedroom when they returned.

He was still there when she went up, and he got into bed with her. The girl's mother said that she found the two in bed when she went to investigate a noise in the room.
